Kayaking La Jolla; Much More Than An Adventure

 Living near or traveling to San Diego's coast provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy fun on the water with family and friends. Rent a jet-ski or sailboat in Mission Bay or take a harbor cruise from San Diego's downtown waterfront. These activities are great, but fall slightly short from kayaking through one of San Diego's beautiful marine protected areas, like La Jolla's Ecological Reserve.
 Perhaps I'm bias, but combining the adventure of kayaking the pacific with sea life playing and feeding in their natural habitat, as well as captivating sites and information regarding La Jolla's rich underwater park and sea caves,  certainly mixes up a recipe for a vacation highlight. Not only will your family and friends be talking about it years to come, but hopefully we've ignited a passion for our beloved seas and all the living creatures that reside in them.

There is a profound connection between us and the ocean:

The air we breathe -Ocean plants produce half of the world's oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. They regulate our weather and aid in cloud formation to bring us fresh water.

The food we eat -not only sea food, but kelp and algae are used in making a wide variety of foods including various dairy free products and frozen foods. They are also found in domestic pet foods to help nourish our beloved pets.

Medicines we take -there are various beneficial sea derived ingredients in medicines used to fight cancer, alzheimer's, heart disease, viruses, and various other diseases.

Our Jobs and Economy -One in 6 jobs in the united states is marine related and more than $128 billion in GDP annually results from ocean tourism, recreation, and living resources.

The Ocean and its' eco-systems play a huge role in our health and well-being.



Not only do our La Jolla sea caves and ecological reserve kayak tours shine light on our connection to our wondrous marine eco-systems, but our snorkeling tours, bike tours and guided hikes do as well.

Hike Bike Kayak tour guides are sure to bring you on an adventure, but will leave you feeling much closer to the sea. We strive to be stewards of the ocean and inspire all who join us to share ocean awareness with others.
